    Hi Karl,

    When doing a GRT backup of Exchange to tape, it will always stage to disk (default: C:\Temp). No way around this unless you backup-to-disk first. It would fail unless you had enough free space as your Information Store is big in the default location. You get around this by moving the temporary staging location to another drive...

    You can try manually duplicating to disk first and then doing the restore. At least the Information Store will be on disk already.

    Read my article below on how to do this:
